I have been on this program for a while, and my fiancee was SUPPOSED to be doing it with me. I have completed only session 1 weeks 1 & 2. It has been a while since I logged into this, MY BAD ! :( I get disgusted because of the fact that he is not living up to his part of the bargain. Lately he has been more depressed than me, and I suggested I quit and he take over. But I don't want to do this as what I have done so far has really changed my outlook on life (someimtes I slip and recess) and my whole attitude. :p I suggested he start taking the suppliments as a start.. I take them every morning and find that they have helped tremendously. I am more energized and up on myself. ;) And so they still sit, he has yet to open even one packet. As for myself.. I do not want his reluctance to make me quit and go back to the way I was. Any suggestions? :?

earthangeljenny,

Just remember that the only person you can change is YOU. Unfortunately - you are in close quarters with someone who right now seems unwilling to change, and sad and frustrating as that may be...you can't make him change, start the program or even take his supplements (although grinding them up into his frosted flakes does seem appealing...LOL...I think the fish oil one would make a HUGE mess :)).

You said that you could already see the positivedifferences that this program has been making for you - use that to fuel your desire to continue it. You deserve a better, happier, healthier life...don't let anyone take that away from you!!!

Possibly, POSSIBLY, the actions speak louder than words scenario will work in your case too! Maybe he will see your improvements and want to make some for himself.

Don't hamper your progress by arguing with and being frustrated at him though...work on fixing you. You deserve it! You might want to read some about codependency too because your suggesting that you quit, is playing into his negative behavior. I finished a great book called "Codependent No More" by Melanie (or Melody?) Beattie. I used to think that was just for families of drug and alcohol addicts, but truly it's for anyone who changes their behavior to accomodate someone else's bad attitude/choices/whatever.

Blessings,
Dawn
